A. a decrease in drag
B. a decrease in lift
C. an increase in airspeed
D. an increase in airspeed and drag
E. maximum lift and high drag

Answer 55

Correct Answer: E

Explanation:

(A) is incorrect. The airflow over and around the extended wings causes an increase in drag.

(B) is incorrect. On an approach to land, since airspeed is decreased, maximum lift is required to keep the aircraft airborne until touchdown.

(C) is incorrect. An aircraft must decrease airspeed when approaching to land.

(D) is incorrect. Although high drag is created, an increase in airspeed is not created.

A. Ceiling speed
B. Cruising speed
C. Stalling speed
D. Mach 1
E. Gliding speed

Which of the following is another word for aerodynamic friction or wind resistance?

A. Lift
B. Gravity
C. Thrust
D. Drag
E. Stall

Answer 101

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

Drag. Drag is the force generated when aircraft is moving through the air. Drag is air resistance that opposes thrust, basically aerodynamic friction or wind resistance. The amount of drag is dependent upon several factors, including the shape of the aircraft, the speed it is traveling, and the density of the air it is passing through.

Question 102

What is the purpose of the horizontal stabilizer?

A. Pushes the tail left or right in line with the aircraft
B. Levels the aircraft in flight
C. Controls the roll of an aircraft
D. Decreases speed for landing
E. Decreases speed in a turn

Answer 102

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

Levels the aircraft in flight. The horizontal stabilizer provides for leveling of aircraft in flight. If the aircraft tilts up or down, air pressure increases on one side of the stabilizer and decreases on the other. This imbalance on the stabilizer will push the aircraft back into level flight. The horizontal stabilizer holds the tail down as well, since most aircraft designs induce the tendency of the nose to tilt downward because the center of gravity is forward of the center of lift in the wings.

Question 103

Question 104

What occurs when the induced drag on an aircraft exceeds its lift?

A. Roll
B. Yaw
C. Pitch
D. Stall
E. Gravity

Answer 104

Correct Answer: D

A. Gyroscopic precession
B. Centrifugal force
C. Torque
D. Coriolis effect
E. Centripetal force

Answer 106

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:

Torque. Torque from the engine turning the main rotor forces the body of the helicopter in the opposite direction. Most helicopters use a tail rotor, which counters this torque force by pushing or pulling against the tail.

Question 107

What is used to increase the pitch of the main rotor at the same time at all points of the rotor blade rotation?

A. Cyclic control
B. Collective control
C. Coriolis control
D. Symmetry control
E. Anti-torque control

Answer 107

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

Collective control. The collective control is used to increase the pitch of the main rotor simultaneously at all points of the rotor blade rotation. The collective increases or decreases total rotor thrust; the cyclic changes the direction of rotor thrust. In forward flight, the collective pitch changes the amount of thrust, which in turn can change the speed or altitude based on the use of the cyclic. During hovering, the collective pitch will alter the hover height.

Question 108

Question 110

Which of the following aerodynamic forces limits flight?

A. Lift
B. Drag
C. Weight
D. Thrust
E. Power

Answer 110

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:

Weight limits flight, as gravity constantly pulls an aircraft back down to the ground. As such, the thrust (Choice ), which is sometimes called power (Choice ), must be sufficient to propel the weight of the aircraft off the ground to achieve lift (Choice ), which is the force that keeps the aircraft in the air. Drag (Choice ) is a resisting, but not a limiting, force. It runs parallel to the object in motion, trying to push the object back, while weight pulls the object down.
